Mays, Our help in ages past , retired as president of Morehouse College after 27 years of service. Immediately, Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, a very able and competent odminisiwton took ovet the reins of The College. President Gloster, the firs1 Morehouse Man to become Chief-Executive of the school, promises to be Our hope for years to come. We take this +irne to fip our hats to President Hugh Gloster and President-Emerifus Ben- iamin Mays. We are busy men, constantly, hus- 1Iing here and there, rushing around with missions to accomplish and laurel: to gain. However, we are doomed in ourquesf for success to be sfampecl, signed, sealed and delivered in a mold fixed for us by the establishment. We cry no , while at the some time trying to find what mold itis thatwe are really seeking. Pro1esl against me uniust! The slruc- fure the ubiquitous structurd demands that we leave it alone. Shutup Black Power Advocate, Hippy, Radical, we gave birth to you and now bastard child you want 10 undermine our very existence. Offer him resistance militant ones; for without you we shall wili. Slowing down for a minute to explore our thing we find allies to comfort us in our trip through the college scene. I? it weren? for these occasional glimpses of un- rushed iife we would be unable to revamp ourselves for fhe next onslaught. Somefimes they disgust us, We reiect them beca use they a re irrelevant. um k a o b h ...h w s v: a Iw a m n 1 U b w; u b m a m Our society is designed so that without these arrii Facts we canno1 and will not function. For- tunately and beautifully 1here are others who see the need For perseverance and offer us, no matter how fleetingly, c1 whisp of encouragement to cominue. Strong, seemingly unaffected we are on our way. We are busy, baby, and don't appreciate now, the beaufy of a sympofhizer on the horizon. We mus1 stalk off alone to conquer our own weaknesses. - z . ah! h ' .5! , hwza- '1' 4.: 'QMW I-J'L'ivi Nihhw 3- . There are other ways of expressing hysteria with an uncompromising sifuution. Expressive, shaHering emotions musf be released . . . O God they must . . . A . A And from deep within, motivated not by the gamer, but from an identification with one who is bewildered and shaken, we reach into our souls and 1ry to soften the blow inflicted by our hardness. 14 We are not so inured however, that we contr take time out from that which is pressing, and look at and appreciate that which is beautiful. . . . But we have other committments to fquiH for we cannot be wuytuid by our senses inasmuch as they penetrate deeply to the core of our desires. We cruelly subiugate them to the unfeeiing, unthinking and selfish ledgerswnd hope that it was worth it. 11 l FIE litggii I I jti'ig-g Away from the distractions of the sensuous other world, the emphasis is totally on the re- corded word, but for now what good is it. . . . It is important to transIme and to interpret the obstruct, the univer- sal, so that others will understand the significance and the impor- tance of our work. The saving thing about it is that even after the machines have provided us with knowledge, we have the power to communicate to others that information which they crave. . . . Having been assisted, we become occupied with our- selves and retreat to the inner sanctum of our minds and cherish its obiiities to quench and block out that force which is trying desperately to impel us to succumb.

With this in mind, ct strong eFfort is made to pregent the student with the accumulated knowledge of the past and to prepare him for the understanding of, and participation in, the future expansion of knowledge in the field of biology. In cooperation with other science departments, preprofessional sequences are offered for students who wish to enter such fields as medicine, dentistry, professional biology, medical technology, teaching, pharmacy and others. Dr. Wagner 28 Dr. Kidder Department of Economics and Business Administration The program and obiectives formulated by he Depart- ment of Economics and Business Administration are in keeping with 1he aims and obiecfives of a Liberal Arts College. In addition to fulfilling certain departmental requirements in order to earn the AB. degree. Through close coopermion with 1he Department of Economics and the School of Business Administration in Atlanta University, depor1men1 majors have access 10 a wide range as well as depth of course oFFerings which make possible training commensurate with the optitudes, in- Ieresfs, and vocaiional choices of he studems majoring in the dapanmem. In view of future possible expanding employment opportunities in private industry and gov- ernment, emphasis is placed on certain specific courses, especially accounting, in order that majors may de- velop special competence in then area. Dr. E. B. Williams Chairman 29 Dr. H. C. McBoy Chairman Dr. Viiui 30 The primary objective of the Chemistry Department is to teach or to train the student to do critical thinking, and to be obie to express these thoughts with facility both verbally and in writing. The only point at which the Chemistry Department differs in this regard from any other department in the College is that we attempt to do this through the medium or the discipline which we coH chemistry, while in other departments this is done through different media. Dr. C. Merideth Mr. F. C. Campbell Dr. Jeannette Hume Dr. Babelle Levy Visiring Professor Mrs. E. G. Brown 31 Mr. A. Bueno Dr. Addie Mitch ell Mrs. Dolores Stephens The work of the English Department is geared toward developing in the Morehouse student a criti. cal and reflective attitude toward himself and the world he lives in. To this end the Department stresses an intimate knowledge of the moior forms of artistic expression, especially as found in the literature of England and America but also including the best known masterpieces of Western culture. In additionl the Department strives to equip its students with those skills of written and oral expression which would be most useful to him in conveying his thoughts and feelings to others.

Troop Department of Music The Department of Music has a 1wo+old purpose. l1 must provide insiruction in lhe theoretical and practical aspects of music as well us create a climate In which Morehouse smdenfs may develop an awareness and an appreciation for good music. The Iafter is rmempfed by presenting concerts and by providing solid music for the worship services at the College. Rev. R. Jackson Rev. lucius Tobin Department of Education, Philosophy and Religion The Department of Education is a Division which cuts across the other Departments of the College 1'0 provide those students preparing to teach at the elementary or secondary level an orientation in the history, development, and philosophy of education; a knowledge of psychology applied to teaching; and a period of supervised student teaching for refinement of methods and techniques. Em- phasis is placed upon gvowth in a profession. Dr. Dollie Eager Chairman 35 36 Mr. Waller Chivers Chairman Department of Sociology The courses offered in the Department of Sociology seek to provide an understanding of human adion and behavior in the pus! and present, as well as a knowledge of the Laws of society and the problems of our contemporary world. We hope that the knowledge acquired in these courses will be used as a basis for promoting intelligent and useful citizenship, developing in other professions. I1 is also expecied That the courses offered will enwuruge reSpect for scientific training, and will be insirumenlol in developing an honest spirit of scientific inquiry. One of our concerns is to teach 1he student howr lo convert social1heories into a basis for social action. Dr; Anna Grant Dr. Scmue! H. Nam? HHHH Department of Physics Dr. James WA Mayo Chairman Mr. B. Johnson Department of Mathematics The primary goal of the MathematiCs Department is to give its muiors a substantial exposure to the broad range of mathematical topics necessary to understand and master the concepts that are dealt with by mathematicians in contemporary society, whether in the academic world, in busi- ness, or in government. The Department also endeavors to give every student a basic under- standing of and facility in elementary mathe- mutics. Mr. Alan Parlay Chairman 33 Dr. Peler Russell Mr. Charles Syngg Dr. Peter Krauss Mrs. H. Walton 39 Dr. Richard Seymann Chairman Department of Psychology The recent advances in psychology and the emphasis on interdisciplinary training make it imperative that the under- graduate psychology maior receive a good fundamental background not only in the traditional or classical areas of psychology but in the newer methods, techniques, and prac- tices cf the science as well. The present stuff feels that the growth of this department must be in the direction of provid- ing more experimental and methodological training for the student as well GS additional technical training. Not cmlyr is this a necessity for graduate school placement of maiors, but it is also of great importance for corporate, industrial and government service placement. It is the ultimate goal of this department to see that all of its graduating Seniors who desire it are placed in post baccalaureate programs which whether academic or business oriented will further their career in psychology. Dn Toilrrlun 40 Mr. BenilejlI Psychology Dr. F. Goldberg 41 Dr. Melvin D. Kennedy Chairman Department of History 42 Mr, Daniel Klenborr Mr. George M. Miller The pursuit of historical knowledge with integrity and discipline, and the careful analysis of the significant issues of the past and the pre-sent, both toward understand- ing and appraising the trends of the con- temporary world; and to show that the best historical works are among the valued products of human art, with their own dis- tinctive and instructive vitality and beauty. Mr. Robert Goodman Political science is a basic discipline in the social sciences. Afthough it must necesscalrilyr maintain close scholarly association with the disciplines of history, economics, sociology, nn- thropology and social psychology, political science cannot be considered a part of any of these other social sciences. Political science has its own area of human experience to analyze, its Own body of descriptive and factual data to gather, its own conceptual schemes to formulate and test for truth. Politi- cal science at the present time has developed its own internal specializations, even as most other disciplines. Less and Eess is a political scientist today c: generalist in politics. He should have a broad background. it is true, in the general understanding of political power as c: phenomenon of society, as a social in- stitution, and as a structural behavioral pro- cess. Yet the political knowledge so necessary in the discipline are so great, and the tools of study so exacting, that he must specialize if he is to master and to communicate his subiect matter. Mr. Abraham l.. Davis Dr. Robert Brisbane Chairman 43 44 Dr. Pinto Dr . Edward A. Jones Chairman Department of Modern Foreign Languages The obiectives of the Department of Modern Foreign Languages are; U to develop proficiency in m speaking, tbt reading, and fcl listening in the Ian, guages studied; 2t to introduce the student to the culture of the country or countries of the languages studied through the reading of selected materials that reveal the moior contributions of those countries to letters, art, music, science, philosophy, govern- ment-to the sum-totol of human progress generally, to the end of ml broadening the student's intellec- tual and cultural horizon and that bringing him to a sympathetic appreciation of other cultures than his own. Dr. Rose-Marie Akselrad Dr. A. Villanuevu Dr. Gerudo Ebanks Department of Modern Foreign Languages Mr. McMillan Dr. James E. Huines Since Education has us its purpose the de- velopment of the Rational Man, the Health and Physical Education Department at Morehouse seeks--as its maior obiective- to continue to that kind of intelligence and at the same time to growth of those qual- ities of the organism which will permit the Morehouse Man to become Rational.

For therein lies the phil- osophy of the organization and the greatness of Sigma must and will be measured in terms of ideals os proiected in our pro- grams.

This year me team won three of eight games, more than a Morehouse team has won in four seasons.

They dominated 1he meet from the beginning and in some events the Tigershorks qualified as many as five swimmers. 153 154 The chumps hove onfy one senior on the team and prospects for the coming sea- son are bright. The mos! rewarding viciory for the Tigershurks this year was againsl Howard University. The Morehouse team defeated Howard 60-44, sehling a two year old feud. We congratulme ihe Maroon and White Tigersharks, under the leadership of Coach James Pinky Haines, and challenge them 10 continue their magnificent performances. 155 l56 Basketball Team We're a Winner. This is a phrase that the basketball team of Morehouse Col- lege can use without hesitation.

Present at the inauguration were more than 500 delegates from colleges and universities throughout the country. Many of the College's alumni were on hand to witness the ceremony which made the first Morehouse Man president of the institution. He is ct busy man.

And I know, If you'll only be true To this glorious quest, That your heart Will lie peaceful and calm.

These are me men 1ha1we should all thank for a lob well done. Miss Torch for 1968 Doris Creecy 173 Editor's Note When confronted with the task of being editor of the 1963 TORCH, my initial feeling was one of ecstasy. The iob appeared to be one of relative simplicity that would yield a degree of satisfaction. Today, I can say, without hesitation, that the task is o herculecm one which grants more satisfaction than you dare imagine. THE TORCH staff has endeavored to produce as splendid a yearbook as possible under the sometimes dreadful circu mstonces. Often, times have been rough, cooperation scarce and materials Few. But in spite of it all, we have produced on book that I think is repre- sentative of the spirit of Morehouse College and the Morehouse Mon. While this book was published for the entire student body, it will probably be most sig- nificant to the graduating seniors. After June 4, 1968, you seniors will be has beans. For then you will leave your final mark as students upon Morehouse College. But your relations with your Alma Mater will never terminate and with this idea the 1968 TORCH was prepared. For the present, this annual is merely a nice thing to look at, but it is in- tended to be savored and even be a bit nostalgic in the future. Only time will tell if it succeeded. It has been a good year. Yes, it has been a very good year but this would not have been possible without the assistance and cooperation of THE TORCH staff. I am greatly in- debted to each of these men. In conclusion, I would like to say thank you to my associates and good luck to the Class of 1968. W4. 0mm Robert A.

I may even die. But I wont it SCIICI even it I die in the struggle that He died to make men free! Like anybody, I would like to live 0: long life. Longevity has its place. But I am not concerned about that now. I iust wont to do God's will . . . live look- ed over and I've seen the promised land. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. I wont you to sing for me tonight. I wont you to do that song for me, 'Pre- cious Lord Take My Hondf Sing it real pretty. tMEMPHIS-TO A MUSICIAN JUST BE- FORE DR. KING WAS SHOT AND KILLEDI I92 :1 Martin Luther King: 'I 'ALLEN LEADER I 968 Every now and then we all think realistically about that day when we will be victimized with what is life's final common denominator -that something we call death. We all think about it and every now and then I ask myselt what it is that I would want said and I leave the word to you this morning. If any of you are around when I have to meet my day, I don't want a long funeral. And if you get somebody to deliver the eulogy tell him not to talk too long. And every now and then I wonder what I want him to say. Tell him not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize-that isnlt important. Tell him not mention that l have 300 or 400 other awards-thatls not important. Tell him not to mention where I went to school. I'd like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to give his life serving others. I'd like for somebody to say that day that Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to love somebody. I want you to say that day that I tried to be right and to walk with them. I want you to be able to say that day that I tried to feed the hungry, I want you to be able to say that day that I did try in my life to visit those who were in prison. And I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity. Yes, if you want 10, say that I was a drum maior. Say that I was a drum major for iustice. Say that I was a drum maior for peace. I was a drum muior For righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I wonlt have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I iust want to leave a committed life behind. I93 i. work must go on-Mrs. King and chitdren refurn in Memphis To lend garbage coliecfors in profesf march.

The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears.

I kg in ! Q. E $33253? In his eulogy Dr. Mays said, Although there are some who reioice in his death, there are mil- lions across the length and breadth of this world who are smitten with grief that this friend of munkind-all mankind-has been cut down in the flower of his youth. The Memphis officials must bear some of the guilt for Martin Lutheris assassination. The strike should have been settled several weeks ago. The lowest paid men in our society should not have to strike for CI more iust wage. A century after Emancipation, and after the enactment of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, it should have not been necessary for Martin Luther King, Jr. to stage marches in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma, and go to iail thirty times trying to achieve for his people those rights which people of lighter hue get by virtue of their being born white. We, too. are guilty of murder. It is time for the American people to repent and make democracy equally applicable to all Americans. What can we do? We, and not the assassin, not the preiudiced, not the apostles of hate, we represent America at its best. We have the power-not the essassins-to make things right. Coupled with moral courage was Martin Luther King, Jr.'s capacity to love people. Though deeply committed to a program of freedom for Negroes, he had love and concern for all kinds of peoples. He drew no distinction between the high and the low; none between the rich and the poor. He believed especially that he was sent to champion the cause of the man furthest down. He would probably say that, if death had to come, I am sure there was no greater cause to die for than fighting to get a iust wage for garbage collectors. He was supra race, supra nation, supra denomination, supra class, and supra culture. He belonged to the world and to mankind. Now he belongs to posterity. 203 HE MAY BE PHYSICALLY DEAD, BUT HIS SPIRIT WILL NEVER DIE. I soy to you today, my friends, even though we Face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It Is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation wIll rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be seIlnchdent, that all men are created eqqur I have 0 dream that one day on the red hills of Georgla sons of former slaves and sons of Format sIuverwnEr's will be able to sit damn together at the table of brotherhond. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of cp- pression, will be transformed into an cnsis of freedom and iusticel I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be iudged by the color of their skin but by the content of their Ehuruder.
